The Cincinnati Bengals face the Los Angeles Rams in the preseason finale at Paycor Stadium. Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, defensive end Leonard Floyd and Bengals offensive tackle La'el Collins were the three players involved in the incidents on Thursday. and the game will be broadcast on Local12 (WKRC-TV) and the NFL Network.

The Cincinnati Bengals' punter competition is coming down to the wire with Drue Chrisman and Kevin Huber both battling for a starting spot in 2022.

So far in preseason, both Chrisman and Huber have performed well, but not astonishingly well. Huber is currently in his 14th season in Cincinnati and holds nearly every franchise punting record in the books. There’s also the question of holding duties for kicker Evan McPherson.

He allowed two big plays to Bengals receivers, though the Rams seemed to be in zone coverage on the deep shot to Kendric Pryor in the first half. Durant was a real bright spot in the first two preseason games, but he made some mistakes against the Bengals in coverage. Evans has struggled throughout the preseason and gave up another sack against the Bengals, getting beat by in the first half. He finished the night with 32 yards on 12 carries, also fumbling it deep in the red zone after attempting to gain extra yards after contact. All he’s done is make plays and it should earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. That’s a wrap on the preseason.

Special Teams returners: With Chris Evans seemingly locking up the kick return duties, Trent Taylor flashed once again today on punt return. Bigger picture ...

The former second round pick came into the season with high expectations, but it appears he will have to continue to fight to get on the field. Unfortunately for Lassiter, it appears that Trent Taylor has locked up the punt return duties with another nice return today, to go alongside his muffed punt in the first half. He will be looking to stick around with the Bengals for a while now with an impressive outing tonight at Paycor Stadium. Unfortunately the offensive line has been the Achilles Heel of this roster the last several seasons. Johnston has gotten several regular season reps over the last few seasons, and has played well in each appearance. With that in mind, let's take a quick look at some winners and losers from tonight’s win over the Rams.

Super Bowl Rematch (kinda) results in a Rams loss, as points were at a premium in low scoring affair in preseason finale.

The second half got off to an almost identical start, as the Rams first threatening drive ended on a fumble once again, except this time it was Trey Ragas who coughed the ball up just inside of Bengals territory. Jake Browning then came in for Allen at the end of the first half and immediately led yet another FG drive for the Bengals, going 6/7 for 70 yards in his first series of plays, making the halftime score 9-0 Bengals. The game got off to an awfully slow start, as the Rams could not muster any points in the 1st quarter while the Bengals had a single field goal, as both defenses shined early on with the Rams getting solid pressure on the QB with 2 first quarter sacks.

Rams running back Kyren Williams gets a boost by not playing while the stock of receiver Lance McCutcheon and quarterback Bryce Perkins continue to rise.

Jackson Carman vs. Cordell Volson looks all but finished.

For the most part, they’re fighting just to stay on the roster. Among a sack allowed and a holding penalty, he’s simply not looked good enough to turn the tides of a battle that is probably already over. The former, quite simply, has not.

But even that’s only to the depth. Rookies Carter and Gunter have shown enough to have a large rotational role for the former and a roster spot for the latter. But that’s the value of special teams here with the backups. But most of the ends here have shown they can kick inside and make an impact. That means the guy with more experience, both in the offense and with Zac Taylor. More interesting might be whether the team makes a trade or decides to add a guy that just got cut by another team.
